remove rear stops....... zip tie a chancla to the frame if you are really worried about bottoming out.... it dont hurt to try it out. as for the u-bolts, cut about 1" off the bottom to keep em from hanging up on something and getting tweaked..... make sure you cut em off clean. as for the front bumpstops, trim the lower set. the top ones are only used for when you top-out the suspension (witch rarely or never happens) me personally, i would remove them to clear whatever room you can use....... others may disagree but thats just my opinion. as for the shocks, like i said......... they will be too long if used with a torsion bar drop..... if you think you can afford to, i would do drop arms and your suspension will work within full travel with the same shocks. if you decide to leave the torsion drop, then i'd highly suggest drop shocks (shorter length shocks) to regain some up travel in your suspension. my personal opinion, save up the money for drop arms...... that would be my plan of action.
I have a set of toxic shocks for sale... Only used for 1k miles or so... PM me if interested... As soon as your front bumps touch really close chances are the shocks are close to bottoming out. Thats why I changed mine.
so i left the rims alone. took out front and back bumpstops, rides so much better. added my new emblem
lol, me and my pops welded some ridge pipes on. love to slap on a tacoma valance but as of now i dont have a welder
